For context, before Edge of Fate I would play all 3 characters semi consistently and bounce between multiple builds and loadouts depending on my mood and/or the activity. Now? I have pretty much been restricted to 1 build, on 1 character, because it feels like I'm walking back 15 steps to get my other characters capable to even tolerate the current difficulty I am at. To play 1 build on another character I have to drop down the difficulty and HOPE I get the gear I need to use/infuse to run stuff at my mains difficulty, and thats assuming I know exactly what 1 build I want to play with. To make other builds the cost of Unstable Cores and RNG nature of getting the gear I need is staggering. This is all under the assumption the modifiers for the MATCHMADE playlist even work in my favor, but considering its a grab bag of all the different mods to pick, odds are NONE of them will synergize with what I'm trying to do, and because the loadouts are locked and at times its random which Champions you will face, whatever guns I want to run feel redundant because I HAVE to play around that. Its even worse with things like Match Game or the Grappler mod in place that make restrictions even worse. I hope among the portal reward changes there's also consideration being put in to allowing us the freedom to play/build how we want again. I've never had such an unfun time trying to play different characters or use different guns and loadouts just to play the same at level content I've been playing already.
